Asymmetrical combat with a good grasp of the guerrilla
It’s a worthwhile game, but you’ll need to spend some time learning the rules before you play it. By “some” time I mean about an hour, because this game’s asymmetry means you’ll be explaining quirks of both sides. But once it’s happening, it’s great, and few games could capture the quirks of guerrilla warfare against large armies so well.

Excellent game!
I was tempted to give the game 4 stars initially as the box came a bit banged up (not Amazon’s fault) and the player boards are actually a thin cardstock rather than cardboard, I know this isn’t the kickstarter edition but I would expect a little more quality from CMON… Having said this, the game is excellent and immersive, you’ll enjoy it whether you’re a fan of Dune or not.

Excellent Game!
It may have a huge rule book, but the rules themselves are mostly intuitive. My girlfriend was able to get playing confidently with just a few questions after I explained it to her. If you are intimidated by these types of games, fear not. And if you're looking for something with strategy and layered gameplay then it's just the type of engaging you're looking for. We both loved it, the minis are great and the game flows very nicely. Be warned: the game rewards aggressive play. If you play passively for too long you WILL get cooked before you know it. Both players are essentially racing against each other to score their own different types of points. The only negative for me is there's no really attractive option for storing the pieces - you either spend half an hour placing each mini back in its original plastic container or you just throw everything in the box and pray a sword doesn't break off. And all the storage bins for this game available online cost about as much as the game itself. I don't think any of the expansions or exclusive content is necessary unlike others have suggested, but if you're like me and you enjoy the game you'll find a reason to shell out anyway.
